Pedal-powered Buick displeases Canadian cops

[Blue_Tires]

Michel de Broin, a Montreal artist, has created perhaps one of the most environmentally friendly automobiles ever. In 2005, he took a 1986 Buick Regal, gutted it, and replaced its running gear with pedals, calling it the "Shared Propulsion Car." In an early video of the passenger-powered car, it navigates New York traffic with a few impatient drivers, but no big problems. The Buick, with its super-slow acceleration, is stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic just like everyone else. We assume the passengers arrive at their destination safely, if not tired and perhaps in better shape.

Hillarity ensues.......especially the fact that they have keys
in the ignition.
